Abstract

Optronic tracking and guiding instruments are maintained in a readiness state by simulating various conditions including mechanical loads and, possibly, temperature variations for obtaining a set of corrective data which is then used for compensating possible errors during a real live mission. The compensation involves particularly focusing and exposure time control.
